1. Zero Server Storage Guarantee

At ShiftTimeCard.com, we believe that sensitive payroll numbers, hourly pay rates, worker names, and shift schedules belong exclusively to you. All calculations, overtime determinations, and currency aggregations are executed 100% locally in your device's web browser via client-side JavaScript. Your timecard entries and payroll computations are never uploaded, stored, or processed on our backend servers.

2. Local Storage Usage

To ensure seamless user experience across visits without requiring an account or login, our calculators save non-identifying preferences in your browser’s local cache (localStorage). This includes:

Your preferred hourly pay rate (so you do not have to re-type it on every visit).
Your preferred clock format (12-hour AM/PM versus 24-hour military time).
Your active weekly shifts for the current session.

This data remains exclusively on your physical device. You can clear this cached data at any time by clicking the "Clear" action inside any calculator or by clearing your browser's site data.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosure

We may partner with third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These third-party vendors use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to ShiftTimeCard.com or other websites across the Internet:

Google's use of advertising cookies: Google's use of cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve personalized advertisements to users based on their navigation history across websites on the Internet.
User Opt-Out: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds.info or Your Online Choices.

4. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Compliance

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are entitled to specific consumer rights:

Right to Know: You have the right to request disclosure of what personal information is collected, used, or shared.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of any personal data collected. Because all calculator data is stored strictly in your browser's local cache, clearing your browser cache immediately purges all local data.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: ShiftTimeCard.com does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or wage records to any third party.
Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, alter functionality, or charge fees for exercising any of your privacy rights.
